The 27-time World Series champions, which have
held the top spot since Forbes began tracking MLB team finances
in 1998, were valued at $7.1 billion, up 18% from last year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers ($4.8 billion), Boston Red Sox ($4.5
billion), Chicago Cubs ($4.1 billion) and San Francisco Giants
($3.7 billion) rounded out the top five.
According to Forbes, the average value of MLB's 30 teams rose
12% from last year to $2.32 billion due in part to higher
revenue from ticket sales and premium seating like suites and
club seats.
The reigning World Series champion Houston Astros were ranked
11th on the list with a value of $2.25 billion, up 14% from last
year.
